Saskia is a Ploughing Dragon! - Witcher 2

[@xLetalis]

I like how she refers to her father as a knight, while he probably was one in his human form, it seems like he was a knight at heart as well

[@MrRys]

I forgot to tell you sooner... but you can turn off the sharpen in the .ini file if you want... it will look a bit better... the white outlines on everything will disappear

[@theprogressivecynic2407]

If you read the books this line makes much more sense. Her father literally was a knight who Geralt met and became friends with while they were kinda hunting a dragon with Yennifer (Geralt joined the hunting party to figure out why it was acting crazy, the knight/dragon joined because the dragon was his pregnant mate, and Yennifer wanted the dragon's heart for a spell). Long story short, they manage to head off the hunters, the dragon dies in childbirth and the knight/dragon leaves in human form with his new daughter.

I always wondered if borch is her real father.

Oh, never mind, I've read the progressive cynics' comment and I remembered. Thanks mate. That really makes sense now

[@Windrake101]

The Progressive Cynic Actually i believe Myrgtabrakke (Saskia's mother) survived. Borch/Villentretenmerth said in the book she had escaped while everybody was fighting. And Dragons lay eggs in the Witcher-verse; there was no childbirth.

[@Zw285]

Totaly read that as "Saskia is ploughing a dragon."

[@Infernal460]

Zyron Same.

[@michalzimmer1453]

Only reason I came here

[@lukahutinski9075]

Spoiler... Im preety sure at some point she did do just that

[@aynazchan2771]

I’m glad I’m not the only one who did 😅😅😅

[@ilmentore7]

I wish u could plough that dragon... in the other form... YNWIM

[@Queenfan1989]

And that is why i choose Iorverth's side ;) This part of the story is just amazing and has a richer story-line than the other one. Both have their interesting bits, but to me, this one is just better. Hope you enjoy the rest of it as well, Letalis.

[@bindair_dundat]

You can imagine my surprise on my second playthrough when I saw this, after I have mercy killed the dragon in my original one.

[@bindair_dundat]

In scenes like this, I always wonder... where do the clothing and armor go once transformed?

[@rutger5000]

+Bindair Dundat. Her scales in her dragon form transform into armour into human form.

[@nightrunner3701]

Explanation?: Magic stuff!!!!!

[@leo93jesi]

I love how this is related to the books

[@BeautyIsJustAMask]

I have no idea how some people don't like Saskia, she is completely badass and like her father has a noble heart. Prince Penis can die for allowing her to be poisoned! Still gutted there's no room for her in Witcher 3 but I don't know where she'd fit in anyway.

[@MrJH101]

BeautyIsJustAMask except it was actually Philippa Eilhart who poisoned Saskia.

[@BeautyIsJustAMask]

J3SS3 H well Olcan did the poisoning which Stennis allowed but why would Olcan do that for Phillipa?

[@MrJH101]

BeautyIsJustAMask Because when you’re questioning witnesses, one of them overheard Olcan specifically knowing that Saskia was a “monster” and he was trying to tell Stennis this. So that’s what Olcan’s motive was for wanting Saskia dead. He was trying to invite his master to his plot and whether Stennis accepted or not still makes him look culpably guilty for even knowing Olcan harbored those intentions. The priest would have likely approached Philippa as well, since as a former court sorceress she would have the most experience in such matters of poisoning and intrigue. This is where she would likely start scheming herself, as she always does. And then later on, moments before his death, Olcan was still attempting to divide Stennis against Saskia. Stennis refuted him saying that "All my other commanders have betrayed me,” indicating he hasn’t yet won his master’s approval. Stennis was a royal ass, but even he knew better than to fight the upcoming battle without Saskia and was not so great a fool as to try to encompass his own defeat beforehand. Olcan was the architect of the plot and the one who did the most to further it. But where would he procure the poison? It doesn’t seem like something a priest would know how to whip up. But Philippa did know how to make it, did know the proper dosage, did know the antidote, and did know how to tamper with said antidote to control Saskia for herself. There’s also the outcome that if you chose Roche’s path, Stennis will be dead along with Olcan on the battlefield, yet Philippa still ends up completing the whole plan anyways. I believe Philippa set up Olcan, who was the one who wanted Saskia dead, with a poison exactly suited to making herself look like a hero, but now with a pet dragon on her side. Remember, the true antagonists of this game aren’t actually Letho and his witchers, but the Lodge of Sorceresses who were scheming with Nilfgaard. Philippa was lying to you from the beginning about almost everything and not a word she said can be fully trusted. To her, Stennis would’ve been just another Northern Monarch and a hindrance to the Lodge’s plan to create a state run by the Sorceresses.

[@BeautyIsJustAMask]

J3SS3 H interesting but it seems a glaring plot hole that Saskia is still poisoned in the Roche path. I mean how did Phillipa get the ingredients needed especially the rose of rememberence to cure Saskia and then control her at the end.

[@MrJH101]

BeautyIsJustAMask She would get the Rose from Triss, seeing as how Philippa was the one who had Triss with her the entire time as that figurine. As for the rest of the questline, she would’ve had Iorverth and what remained of his Scoietel handle it, since there would’ve been no Stennis lynch mob for them to be busy containing.

[@aramhalamech4204]

clever girl

[@kunik61]

Saskia the Kaiju of Witcher Universe. Developer 1: //creates a warrior girl// Developer 2: warrior girl is too boring, every single fantasy has them! Developer 1: //makes her a dragon with a fake form//

[@xLetalis]

Such dragons already exist in the lore, her dad is in the books ;]

[@kunik61]

xLetalis but he is not like her. He is a traveler.

[@xLetalis]

@@kunik61 true

[@IlayYoeli]

So many clues and foreshadowing for that moment

[@chamathamara]

too bad this story was not continued to Witcher 3

[@ggt47]

Still my favourite character in the game and game.

[@GhANeC]

Her voice sounds like Sansa Stark's sometimes

[@RZmovement]

They should bring her back in TW4 with a good good reason to why she was missing(ignoring weak writing ideas)from the war at TW3 especially after all her ideals and this Vergen saga(not talking about the fact that as a dragon she could do alot of damage saving upper aedrin )

[@jali1]

Geralt sounds so weird in witcher 2 was this a diffrent voice from number 3

[@moonknightish]

Same actor. I prefer the voice in 2, honestly.

[@markanon8914]

How to keep the secret if Dethmold saw it?

[@Hekk.]

I just realized how bad english VO in W2 is compared to polish one... 'tis a pity, but still, I hope you enjoy the game as much as I did :)

[@BeautyIsJustAMask]

Hekk I've never understood when people say this about witcher 2 or 3. The English voice acting is consistently fantastic in both. Only in witcher 1 was the acting not so good.

[@erierierieri]

The translation absolutely sucks. You heard they made Saskia say she prefers dwarves and is not that interested in Iorweth? Dude wtf. xD

[@ladyalaina42]

They need some women writers.
